I had some success using the gen one Pokémon maps as a memory palace base. Very recognisable even in ascii

What sort of things would you place in your memory palace? The concept has always been interesting but I’ve struggled to come up with useful applications outside of pure competition

I used it a lot for university exam cramming.

Most practical use is speech talking points in place of cards, and foreign language vocabulary for self quizzing and revision. I never tried to keep anything really long term that way

Awesome project. I love the idea of recreating a game in the terminal. I tried doing an exact clone of Pokemon once (with graphics and everything), but keeping the frame rate up always requires getting into the low-level weeds. Sometimes it's nice to write a purely "high-level" game without worrying about that stuff at all. I feel like the terminal is a great way to do that.

I place things I want to write down when I get back to somewhere there is a pen and paper.
